Invited Speakers
Prof. Vincent Lepetit
Computer Vision for Augmented Reality Lab, TU Graz, Austria
Laboratoire Bordelais de Recherche en Informatique, U Bordeaux, France
Inria Manao, France
Deep Learning for 3D Localization
The first part of the talk will describe a novel method for 3D object detection and pose estimation from color images only. We introduce a "holistic"’ approach that relies on a representation of a 3D pose suitable to Deep Networks and on a feedback loop. This approach, like many previous ones is however not sufficient for handling objects with an axis of rotational symmetry, as the pose of these objects is in fact ambiguous. We show how to relax this ambiguity with a combination of classification and regression. The second part will describe an approach bridging the gap between learning-based approaches and geometric approaches, for accurate and robust camera pose estimation in urban environments from single images and simple 2D maps.
Bertrand Le Saux, PhD

École Polytechnique, Paris, France
Semantic Labeling of Remote Sensing Data, from 2D to 3D
This talk will be about scene understanding with neural networks. Precisely, it starts from a brief introduction about classification of aerial and satellite images and the advent of deep learning for solving this task, then discusses various kinds of deep networks for dense semantic classification, fusion of heterogeneous data (especially with residual correction), and joint-learning with additional cartography. In a second part, it moves to 3D with semantic labeling of point clouds and presents SnapNet a multi-view convnet which can classify 3D from LiDAR or photogrammetry. It discusses various strategies for urban modeling or robotic exploration. Building on latest developments of the last years, we will see how it is now possible to semantize the world that surrounds us.
Workshops
Introduction to Python and Version Control with GIT
| Organizers | Lloyd Hughes, TUM Professorship of Signal Processing in Earth Observation |
| Time | Thursday, October 5th, 10:30 – 13:00 |
| Description | Python is an open source and free alternative to Matlab. Almost all tasks that are currently done using Matlab can be implemented with Python as well. Whereas GIT helps scientists to track changes and facilitates collaboration in software development. In this workshop, we will introduce scientific Python stack. Students are invited (after the proposal has been accepted) to suggest areas of interest they would like to learn more about. Furthermore, an introduction into the general operation of GIT will be given. |
Exploring Generative Adversarial Networks
| Organizers | Sandra Aigner, TUM Chair of Remote Sensing Technology |
| Time | Friday, October 6th, 10:30 – 13:00 |
| Description | Google Earth Engine combines a multi-petabyte catalog of satellite imagery and geospatial datasets with planetary-scale analysis capabilities and makes it available for scientists, researchers, and developers to detect changes, map trends, and quantify differences on the Earth's surface. |
Exploring the Potential of Geo-tagged Social Media Data in Geoscience
| Organizers | Diao Lin, TUM Chair of Cartography |
| Time | Friday, October 6th, 10:30 – 13:00 |
| Description | The increasing geo-tagged social media data provides new perspectives for researchers to get insight to various aspects of our society, like human mobility, events, opinions, and living environments. Such crowd-sourced data also draw attention of researchers from Geoscience. Due to the big volume and high complexity of social media dataset, it’s quite challenging to process and utilize the geo-tagged social media data. This workshop will firstly give an overall introduction of geo-tagged social media data and provide some practical guidance on how to collect, store, and preprocess the twitter data (one typical social media data). Then, from the perspective of Cartography and Remote Sensing, three extra application demos will be presented. The first demo illustrates how to use the social media data to detect spatio-temporal events and how to visualize different kinds of events (i.e. event mapping). The second demo presents how to conduct sentiment analysis based on the social media. In the third demo, we explore the potential of the geo-tagged social media data, e.g., twitter data, for the semantic understanding in the urban area. We hope these three demos will help the participants to get a better understanding of how geo-tagged social media can be applied in Geoscience. |
Google Earth Engine
| Organizers | Lukas Liebel, TUM Chair of Remote Sensing Technology Tobias Koch, TUM Chair of Remote Sensing Technology Chunping Qiu, TUM Professorship of Signal Processing in Earth Observation |
| Time | Friday, October 6th, 10:30 – 13:00 |
| Description | Google Earth Engine combines a multi-petabyte catalog of satellite imagery and geospatial datasets with planetary-scale analysis capabilities and makes it available for scientists, researchers, and developers to detect changes, map trends, and quantify differences on the Earth's surface. |
Social Event
On Thursday afternoon (4-7 pm), we booked 10 lanes at the
Seaside Bowling Center
Meistershofener Str. 14
88045 Friedrichshafen.
Afterwards, we will have a joint buffet-style dinner there.
